Coroner says schools and local authority had no reason to suspect two teenagers were plotting to kill her

Brianna Ghey’s murder could not have been foreseen by her school or those of her killers, a coroner has said as she recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.

Brianna, 16, was stabbed to death in a “sadistic” and “exceptionally brutal” murder in a Warrington park on 11 February 2023 by Eddie Ratcliffe and Scarlett Jenkinson, who were both 15 at the time.
